Giliw Ko ("My Love") is a 1939 Filipino movie. A musical romance, Giliw Ko had a radio theme, and was first production of the Filipino company, LVN Pictures. It is notable for being a gift from Australia to the Filipino people to commemorate 100 years of independence. It was directed and written by Carlos Vander Tolosa, and starred Mila del Sol, Fernando Poe Sr and Ely Ramos.

Synopsis

The film tells the tale of Guia, a country girl played by Mila del Sol, who begins to sing American songs on the radio, after being infatuated with images of Hollywood. She finds fame, and moves to America. Eventually, she becomes disillusioned, and returns to the Philippines, singing Filipino music.

Restoration

In 1998, the Australian government offered a restoration of the single remaining 16mm print to commemorate the Philippines' 100th year of independence. The Philippine Information Agency and the National Film and Sound Archive in Canberra (both members of SEAPAVAA, the South East Asia-Pacific Audio Visual Archive Association) worked together on the restoration.
